Thu, 18 Nov 2010 23:19:37 +0000http://orsierraclub.wordpress.com/?p=1223#comment-959I would like a little more information about what is going on with this situation. Where exactly is the water coming from and who exactly will that effect? What evidence is there to support your claim that this would be bad for environment and watershed, ect..? I don’t doubt that Nestle’ is up to no good and that this could have a disasterous effect on Oregonians in the Gorge but I think you would make a better case with more information. Good Luck

There is so little left for wildlife and the beauty of Oregon. Someone is getting payola here. It will be exposed. Kind of sickening, cattlemen get the wildlands and the Oregon public can take a flying leap if they think waters are any safer. This is not China. Sincerely, Vicki Hood

Dear Mr. Ward:

I am writing to you to request that The Oregon Water Resource Department deny the permit application for a water exchange between the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the City of Cascade Locks.

Although the application does not directly state that the beneficiary of the exchange will be Nestle Waters of North America, the exchange would give Cascade Locks the ability to sell the exchanged water to a Nestle water bottling plant. As an Oregon citizen, I am deeply concerned that Oregon may give away a public water resource to a corporation that will bottle it, profit from it and ship it out of the watershed.

Opening the doors to a Nestle bottling plant would lead to a wasteful and potentially unsustainable use of a public resource and negatively impact the quality of life of nearby residents and wildlife.

If the state agency approves the exchange, it risks creating a future water supply shortfall, putting the city of Cascade Locks at the mercy of a multinational corporation with a bad track record in the US and abroad.

I hope that the department will reject this application outright because of the potential disastrous results on the community and sustainability of Oregon’s spring water, a public resource that should be managed for the benefit of Oregonians.
